Yi Shuihan was very curious to know where Situ Ming got the nerve to say such a thing.
Did he think he could fool everyone and make them think the fake mine was real?
Or does he have other plans?
Given the enmity between the two, Yi Shuihan had to be on guard.
On the 30th, he had someone keep an eye on Situ Ming to make sure the other party had set off before he followed behind.
Situ Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yi Shuihan following him.
He didn't want to make this trip.
But he knew very well that if he didn't go and let Yi Shuihan go to Broken Wind Cliff alone to sign the contract, Yi Shuihan would definitely become suspicious.
In order to get rid of this evil star, he had no choice but to take a risk.
Before making the decision, he went to see the old Taoist priest again to ask him what Tian Shou meant and whether he would suffer if he went with him.
The old Taoist priest then told him more details, and finally said, "Your Highness, if you stand far away, you will not be affected."
Only then did Situ Ming completely believe the old Taoist priest.
He didn't know what constituted a safe distance, but he brought along all the experts, instructing them to get him away as soon as possible.
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.
He did this out of desperation.
All I can do is hope that everything goes well.
The further out to the suburbs we went, the darker the sky became, and it looked like a storm was brewing.
Yi Shuihan spurred his horse forward and said to Situ Ming, "The weather is not good. We should go and inspect the area and sign the contract another day."
"no."
Situ Ming replied without hesitation.
"It has to be today!"
Realizing his tone was too harsh, he added, "This is a date that I specifically asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate, which is auspicious for the covenant. I'm sorry to trouble you, General."
Yi Shuihan, who originally had only five points of doubt, now has ten.
Selling the mountain was definitely a ruse; Situ Ming had other plans.
Moreover, their ambitions are considerable.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have personally acted as bait to lure him in.
He wasn't afraid of Situ Ming's tricks; in the face of absolute strength, any trick would be easily exposed.
He then replied to Situ Ming, "Alright, let's continue."
Before long, the two groups arrived at their destination.
After circling the mountain, Situ Ming led Yi Shuihan to a pine tree on Broken Wind Cliff, took out the contract, signed and pressed his fingerprint on it, and then handed it to Yi Shuihan.
"A downpour is coming, so I won't linger any longer. Sign one copy for me first, and you can sign the rest at your leisure."
Yi Shuihan did as he was told and signed a copy for him first.
Situ Ming held the contract and gave the guard a look. The guard then leaped forward to take him away.
Yi Shuihan reached out and grabbed Situ Ming, throwing him into a tree.
Situ Ming was shocked: "Are you plotting a rebellion?!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than thunder rumbled and a dazzling bolt of lightning struck, hitting the tree where Situ Ming was standing.
The pine tree was struck with a "boom".
The guards who had just flown over to save Situ Ming were all caught in the lightning strike and were charred black and blue.
As for Situ Ming, who was struck squarely, he screamed once and then fell silent.
His guards were startled for a moment, then launched an attack on Yi Shuihan.
Yi Wu and his men met the challenge.
Yi Shuihan looked at the iron rod tied to the tree trunk and seemed to understand something.
Did Situ Ming want to be struck by lightning and killed?
You know a lot.
Unfortunately, he had already learned the principles of lightning protection and attraction from Xiao Qingyin. When he reached the edge of the cliff and saw an iron pole on a tree, he immediately became alert.
Just then, an unexpected event occurred.
A group of men in black suddenly appeared, unleashing a dense rain of arrows.
Whether they are Yi Shuihan's people or Situ Ming's people, they should all be treated equally.
The two groups had no choice but to temporarily cease hostilities and unite against a common enemy.
In the midst of the chaos, a sharp cry pierced the air, leaving both groups momentarily stunned and plunged into darkness.
Yi Shuihan, Yi Wu, and the others covered their ears the moment they heard the screams, but they still couldn't withstand the attack of the birdsong and felt dizzy.
The group of men in black seemed deaf, showing no reaction whatsoever, and continued to draw their bows and shoot arrows with swift movements.
Yi Shuihan and the others had no choice but to jump off the cliff.
Normally, with their skills, they would have no problem going down the cliff.
But at this moment, everyone was dizzy and disoriented. They couldn't even control their bodies, let alone use their lightness skills. They all fell down like stones.
Those who are lucky land on tree branches.
Those with bad luck stumble and crash into rocks all the way.
Yi Shuihan was one of those people with extremely bad luck.
He hit his head three or four times during the fall.
He was knocked unconscious.
At that time, the rain was pouring down, and mud and sand were falling, turning the river below the cliff into a muddy mess in an instant.
After Yi Shuihan and the others fell into the water, they disappeared into the river in the blink of an eye.
At the same moment, Xiao Qingyin was giving Yun Shu acupuncture in the mansion when she suddenly became uneasy and almost inserted the wrong acupoint with the silver needles in her hand.
She rubbed her temples, feeling as if something bad had happened.
Sure enough, halfway through the rain, Yi Wu stumbled in.
"Our master fell off a cliff and into the river and went missing."
Xiao Qingyin suddenly stood up.
When did this happen?
Yi Wu told her the whole story in detail, and Xiao Qingyin listened with gritted teeth.
This fool, knowing it's a trap, still walked right into it for a gold mine. Do they want her to become a widow?
Believe it or not, she'll dig up the gold mine and then marry another man.
That's ridiculous.
Do you have a map?
She asked Yi Wu.
"have."
"Let me see. With this heavy rain, he must have been swept downstream. We have to find him before those men in black."
"good!"
...
At a bend in the lower reaches of the Changwei River, there is a village of moderate size called Hewan Village.
